Fargesia denudata

Similar to Fargesia murielae in form and color, F.
denudata has
shorter branches and smaller leaves, which cause the gracefully arching canes
to stand out individually. Although not as hardy as F. murielae, it is
hardy to
-10°F.
Unlike F. murielae and F. nitida, it does not have leaves that yellow and
drop in the fall, making it a greener plant through the winter. Like other Fargesias,
it is a clumping bamboo and is happy with some protection from hot afternoon sun. It is mostly suitable
for areas that have the cooling in nighttime hours more common in Northern
states, not in Southern states.
